Re: Cesc Fabregas

I'd be trying to offload one of either Negredo or Dezko to get Fabregas. Him, Yaya and Silva are all capable of playing as a number 10, so if we could get him in then we really wouldn't need 4 strikers, so if we could almost fund the whole deal by offloading one of them then it seems like a no brainer to me. If we could get anything like £20-25m for one of our strikers, then we'd only need another £5-10m to fund the deal

Re: Cesc Fabregas

If Yaya went which I don't really feel is on the cards then Cesc really is a no brainer.

I can't believe the fee is only £30M and I can't believe Barca aren't building their future around him instead of moving Xavi or Iniesta on.

Whenever he has played for Barca is Xavi's role he has looked horrible, he is too attacking and weak defensively to play that role properly. They should have sold Fabregas last summer instead of Thiago.

This, they also had to move Iniesta to the left to accommodate Fabregas in his best position and Iniesta is better in the central position. It's no surprise that Barca fans would sell him because they have never really needed him in the first place. I'd rather we went for Pogba to replace Yaya because if it's between Fabregas and Silva for the no.10 role it's Silva hands down.

Re: Cesc Fabregas

he's a quality player but do we really need him? tolmie mentioned earlier that we don't necessarily have to sell to buy him but I can't see it myself

Re: Cesc Fabregas

If we signed Fabregas but kept Toure and signed Fernando, wouldn't they be wondering how many games they'll be playing? Not to mention the likes of the youth players who'll think it's completely pointless sticking around with no prospect whatsoever of getting a game apart from a place on the bench in a capital one game against Plymouth.

I've already booked hotels for Plymouth away.

Re: Cesc Fabregas

Pellegrini in his interview specifically mentioned rotation for the players this season. Said it before and will say it again whoever arrives and the current players will have to take rests and can't be expected to play every game like Zab, Yaya, Kompany (when he was fit) Silva, Nasri, etc did last season. Seemed to me last season rotation only happened to the fringe players and when players injured or suspended. If we really want to push for the four competitions we will have to play without the silvas, aguero and Yaya even if they are fit to keep them in good nick till the prizes are handed out.

Re: Cesc Fabregas

I don't know where this £30m figure has come from, because why would Barcelona sell him for that when his buyout is about 200m euros?

We had no chance to rest players last season as we were playing catch up, and had a lot of injuries.

Squad size is not going to increase, but ideally we are going to look to rotate players. Would be easier to do if we have a bit more quality in depth in midfield

Re: Cesc Fabregas

Dear jesus, I just had a Dipper fan tell me Fabregas wouldn't be able to break into their team ahead of Jordan Henderson.

What a bunch of fucking idiots.
